I experienced one of the southernmost journeys on the planet with the Ushuaia – Puerto Williams crossing, a unique experience connecting Argentina and Chile by sailing through the waters of the legendary Beagle Channel . This route links the city of Ushuaia , in Tierra del Fuego, with Puerto Williams , located on Navarino Island and recognized as the southernmost city in the world.
Ideal for adventurous travelers, nature lovers and those seeking to discover remote destinations at the end of the world, this international crossing combines scenic sailing, sub-Antarctic landscapes and unforgettable coastal routes.
The experience begins in Ushuaia with immigration formalities and boarding a speedboat that crosses the Beagle Channel into Chilean territory. During the voyage, you`ll enjoy incredible views of the Fuegian mountain range, southern islands, and typical regional wildlife, including sea lions , cormorants , and various seabirds that inhabit these southern waters.
After arriving in Puerto Navarino , you will continue your journey by land, following the coast of Navarino Island until you reach Puerto Williams. The overland route offers spectacular panoramic views of sub-Antarctic forests, mountains, and virtually untouched landscapes, making this trip an unparalleled scenic experience.
Besides being a practical and safe connection between the two countries, the Ushuaia-Puerto Williams crossing is a perfect opportunity to explore some of the most fascinating destinations in the southernmost part of South America. Puerto Williams stands out for its tranquility, local culture, and privileged access to unique natural landscapes such as the Dientes de Navarino , Cerro Bandera , Omora Park , and the Martín Gusinde Museum .
Operating from November to April, this service is an excellent alternative for those who wish to travel between Argentina and Chile in a different way, enjoying the landscape and the most authentic essence of southern Patagonia.
